so how much has this act of stupidity cost us?
no wonder you never see any cops they're too busy rounding up people who shouldn't be on the streets.
the person responsible for letting him out should cover the costs of the search and be put in prison for a few days, maybe they'd waken up to reality then.

How can a prisoner (Pickering) who has absconded on three previous occasions be returned to open conditions? That decision needs thoroughly investigating. If a prisoner absconds once then he demonstrates that he cannot be trusted and should remain in secure conditions until his final release.
But on the whole, this situation demonstrates the mentality of the types of people these really are. Release On Temporary Licence is a valuable tool in the rehabilitation armoury. When prisoners are coming to the end of their sentences they are generally moved to open prisons where they are then, gradually allowed to work in the community in order to help them prepare for final release. Anyone who absconds under that regime must surely understand that by absconding they ultimately put their final release prospects back by years, not merely months. You would have to be a complete imbecile to abscond at that stage. Perhaps certain people just cannot be trusted to make rational decisions when left to their own devices and should never be released.

The government and the justice system of this country appears not to give one iota of consideration for the honest hard working people and / or the victims of crime, yet demand from these very same people whom they consistently let down vast amounts of money in various forms of Taxation to fund wars, aid to countries which do not need it, line their own pockets along with their.cronies and consistently spend billions on projects that ultimately fail. But in our world we would need to justify these actions or be sacked without a penny, yet the politicians (thieves) are allowed to retire with a whopping pay off along with the likes of BBC staff and the thieves in the "City". Democracy!!!!

l would concur with that, how can these oafs on the parole board agree to let out a convicted murderer on home leave who has already absconded twice previously ? the lunatics are running the asylum.

Suitable for day release. Are the people in charge so gullible or just plain stupid? No replies needed-most of us know the answer!
Can the costs of rounding him up come out of their wages?

It defies any rational explanation . . . . crackers !!

I can't understand why people like Mr Moffett are allowed to be assessed as a safe person to be a 'day release' prisoner. What kind of people make up the board that makes these decisions? You can bet they are not the type of people who are out on the front line every day being put in danger by these nut cases. I suspect these people live in a nice protected environment where danger never threatens them, life is good and they can be self righteous to their hearts content. Sack them and get in a board who know what they are doing!

Too many goody goody tree huggers on useless committees. Don't know what they are doing. Get ordinary everyday people in charge, if they haven't been hanged for murder then at least keep them away from society for life.
